AWMA C-Metrics Convenience Industry Outlook Forum

June 23 - 24

At the AWMA C-Metrics, Convenience Industry Outlook Forum, distributors, retailers and manufacturers will receive a first-hand look at the most up-to-date, comprehensive sales data for the convenience industry. Top industry experts will examine how key c-store categories have performed during the first half of 2014. This year’s event will be held at the Doubletree Hotel Chicago O’Hare.

The detailed inside-store sales information will be compiled and analyzed by InRhythm, the founder of InfoMetrics and C-Metrics. Companies can use the data to generate plans to enhance warehouse turns, reduce item distribution voids and make informed decisions to gain a competitive advantage in the convenience channel.
